Clamping element 49 ... 52 are separated from each other, and make new the sending of formation be with 29 to unclamp.The conveying of sending with 29 is recovered once again.Simultaneously, the storage zone 43 be reduced, and green phase should increase traffic capacity can set up once again the storage zone (Figure 12).Clamping element 49 during this period ... 52 return reference position shown in Figure 3.

The further rotating scroll arm 23,24 of conter clockwise makes (new) send the tip position (Figure 12) that spool 28 moves into away from coupling assembling 40.Have remnants and send before 29 and send spool 28, that is, an end section 36 and an axle core 11 are moved into bottom position when the reel arm sloped position.On this position, (preceding) work minor axis 26 is positioned at the removing part, that is, pick up in the work area of band device 44.By the corresponding sports along moving surface 45, the described band device that picks up upwards moves to the remainder of sending spool.The end section 36 there is clamped, and is pulled out from axle core 11 by picking up band device 44 correcting actions (Figure 11).End section 36 transfers to pull-out element with aforementioned manner, that is, transfer to delivery wheel 53 and match wheel 54, thereby end section 36 is sent into container 57, and initial portion 35 has been arranged in this container.

For being sent with 29 end section 36, (preceding) when cutting off, do not disturb thereafter operation, by make end section 36 on the work minor axis 26 (Fig. 9 and 10) with opposite direction driving work minor axis 26.

When removing end section 36, the pull-out element of (sky) axle core 11 works, and this control step is also undertaken by picking up band device 44.As shown in figure 14, pick up the minor axis 26 of working before the band device moves to once again.Connecting element is clamped a core 11 and it is moved from work minor axis 26 vertically.Axle core 11 reenters another collection container 62 (Figure 14) certainly by it freely.

By reel arm 23,24 backward rotation, send spool 28 and return real work shown in Figure 2 position.Supply minor axis 27 freely and in the zone of spool holder 16,17, keep standby, in order to admitting new spool (new spool 30).

Between the shaking peroid of reel arm 23,24 and on the diverse location, for correct guiding material band, a material tape guiding piece is arranged on the reel arm 23,24, and is accurate, the

frame support bracket

63,64 of every minor axis configuration on each spool and/or the reel arm 23,24.These two

frame support brackets

63,64 are arranged on the relative both sides of reel arm 23,24, make relevant material band and another minor axis be separated by a distance and be directed.

The good important component of versatility is to pick up band device 44, and it is illustrated among Figure 15 to 18 in detail.

Pick up band device 44 and be connected in a static linear unit 65 in movable mode.Described linear unit extends in moving surface 45, that is to say, it is on mutual direction of tilt.Pick up band device 44 and be arranged on below the linear unit 65, by attaching parts, that is, a balladeur train 66 is connected in static linear unit 65.

One is used for clamping and fid strip, that is, the member of initial portion 35 or end section 36 comprises clamper 67.This clamper is installed on the mounting 68, and mounting is connected on the balladeur train 66.In this example, clamper 67 comprises the clamping element that is used for clamping material band, that is, and and two jaws that can relatively move 69,70.In the situation of illustrated embodiment, jaw 69 is provided with in a fixed manner, speaks by the book, and is arranged on the load bearing arm 19.Another jaw 70 is contained in movable load member, that is, and and in the swing arm 71.By driving swing arm 71, promptly move up, (bottom) jaw 70 is moved against stationary jaw 69, speak by the book, drive by driving cylinder 72.In this example, the pleat portion that forms previously of material band or encircle 73 and be clipped between the jaw 69,70 is held (Figure 16) by this way.Thereafter, clamper 67 can shift out its position of pointing to relevant spool or relevant minor axis (Figure 16) along linear unit 65, moves into reference position (Figure 17), and material band (initial portion 35, end section 36) is carried in this process.

For the purpose of clamping material band, clamper 67 is provided with and is used to form ring 73 and is used for member with the position of 69,70 of ring 73 introducing jaws.This member is two (or more a plurality of)

aspirator

74,75 spaced apart, and clamping material band is gone up in their come in space positions (Figure 15) of (relatively large) distance.Thereafter, these two aspirators move in opposite directions, and this is to realize by the upward movement that is contained in the bottom aspirator 75 in the swing arm 71 in this example.This relative motion forms ring 73 between two

aspirators

74,75, thereby forms the flexure under lateral stress of material band, and ring 73 moves between two jaws 69,70 automatically, and by jaw clamping (Figure 16).Top aspirator 74 is being contained on this load bearing arm on the extended line of load bearing arm 19.

Clamper 67 is in horizontal mode movably, and saying so more accurately is installed on the mounting 68 by link rod guide rail 76.When clamper 67 by correspondingly using

aspirator

74,75, when relevant work minor axis 26 was pulled out empty axle core 11, above-mentioned cross motion was necessary by axial motion.In this example, at least one

aspirator

74,75 clamp axis core 11.Load bearing arm 19 is connected in link rod guide rail 76.

Pick up the band device 44 shift out from receiving positions shown in Figure 15, move in the process of position, the other end shown in Figure 17, relevant band promptly, moves past according to the mode of having described between delivery wheel 53 and the match wheel 54 (Fig. 6) at wheel spaced apart.(bottom) delivery wheel 53 is installed on the bearing wall 77 in static mode.Movable engagement arm 54 is installed on the drive spindle 78.Drive spindle 78 can be by cylinder 79 swing, thereby match wheel 54 and is pressed in (Figure 17) on the delivery wheel 53 with the material band against delivery wheel 53 on bottom position.The material band turns to downwards around delivery wheel.The correct guidance of material band is by a guide, that is, guide plate 80 guarantees that guide plate 80 is installed on the bearing wall 77 with obliquity between delivery wheel 53 and cylinder 79.

In addition, delivery wheel 53 is at guide plate 81 of opposite side configuration of material band, and it is in close proximity to the circumference of delivery wheel 53, prevents that the material band that is directed around delivery wheel 53 from becoming entangled on the delivery wheel.

Figure 19 to 25 at length represents the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function feature of coupling assembling 40.

Coupling assembling 40 is designed to an independent device, and it has and is roughly cubical structure generally.Each member is installed on the upright bearing frame 82 directly or indirectly, and this framework comprises upright bearing

wall

83,84 and transverse wall 85, and these walls are arranged with box-shaped.

Clamping element 49 ... the 52nd, the important component of coupling assembling 40.For newly with 34 or the clamping

element

51,52 of its initial portion 35 configurations can upper and lowerly independently of each other move.When attended operation began, (top) clamping element 51 was positioned at bottom position, with fixed stop 86 against.Clamping element 51 is remained on the bottom position by extension spring 87 in this example by elastic force, and extension spring 87 is connected on the bottom annex 88 on the transverse wall 85, and is connected on the top annex 89 that has balladeur train 90.Balladeur train 90 has dress top clamping element 51 thereon again.This balladeur train can displacement vertically on a upright fixed guide 91.

Bottom clamping element 52 is connected in balladeur train 92, and this balladeur train also can be at vertical guide rod 93 top offsets with respect to the biasing of clamping element 52 side direction.Balladeur train 92 and clamping element 52 can be revolted downward elastic pressure to top offset.For this purpose, on guide rod 93, be provided with stage clip 94.Balladeur train 92 can be by crank mechanism 95 upper and lower moving.This crank mechanism moves up balladeur train 92 and clamping element 52, make newly be with 34 or initial portion 35 against clamping element 51, thereby be clamped in (Figure 21) on the position of raising.

Thereafter, cutting off tool 56 is driven.This tool arrangement thereby can be relatively moved on the assembly that comprises clamping element 52 and balladeur train 92.For this purpose, the supporting body 96 of the cutting off tool 56 of the points upwards pressure that can revolt spring 98 when prepare using cutting off tool is moving up on upright slide bar 97.In this example, cutting off tool 56 directly with clamping element 52 and put in its new that side shifting of spool 30 dorsad.

For by the displacement of supporting body 96 and drive the purpose of cutting off tool 56, utilize the bar 99 of exerting pressure, this bar of exerting pressure is installed on the assembly that comprises the clamping element 52 of exerting pressure and balladeur train 92 swingably.An end 100 of the double-arm bar 99 of exerting pressure is against a fixed lobe 101, when continuing upward movement, counter-clockwise swing, thereby the exert pressure wheel 102 relative with end 100 move up the supporting body 96 that has cutting off tool 56, carries out rupturing operation (Figure 21) in this process.

The position of clamping

element

49,50 in coupling assembling 40 of sending with 29 is higher than clamping element 51,52.Top clamping element 49 can be along upright guide rail 103 upper and lower moving.Clamping element 49 moves to bottom position by side direction extension spring 104, is resisted against on the fixing block 105, thereby remains on this position.
